Kasich told school superintendents and other education and business representatives Friday at Taft Information Technology High School that past political decisions have resulted in disparities in school funding.

The governor says his plan will distribute resources so all students will receive what they need to compete and succeed.

The overall reaction at Friday's event seemed positive, while most also say they are awaiting the specifics for individual districts to be released next week.

"We have the demographics of Cleveland, but because we have property wealth, they fund us like Worthington, a rich suburb of Columbus," said Mary Ronan, superintendent of Cincinnati Public Schools.

The $15.1 billion, two-year plan boosts K-12 spending by $1.2 billion over the current budget cycle.

The plan would fund all-day kindergarten, which costs CPS about $5 million per year, and charter schools would receive more money from the state.

The plan would also endow one-time grants from a $300 million innovation fund.

"I think there are good ideas, but they don't have the fundamental thing you want to do in school funding, and that is to ensure there are enough resources, so if I had to give it a grade, I'd say incomplete," said Andrew Benson, of KnowledgeWorks.

The specific dollar amount that CPS would get remains unknown, so officials there don't know whether the district will actually receive more money.

"I can't answer that question, but you'll have an answer next week," Kasich said.
